A GROUP of Worcester youngsters went walkabout for their annual toddle waddle to raise money for charity.

About 35 children aged from just 12 months to five years wearing their own home-made duck hats went for a 30-minute stroll to support the children's section of the Meningitis Trust.

All attending the Tiny Tots mothers and toddlers group at Lyppard Grange Community Centre, they set off accompanied by a group of parents and collected £80 for the charity. They were each presented with a plastic duck following their fresh-air efforts.

Mum and group organiser Sam Webb said it was the fourth year they had done the walk and apart from raising money they also used it as a way to inform parents about the symptoms of meningitis.
